Jet vertical band saw

admin

So I am going to purchase either the j-8201k or the j-8201vs saw. I am wondering if there is any advantage to the manual set speed and the variable speed other than ease. The vs goes down to 90 fpm and the k goes down to 39 fpm. I do cut a lot of stainless and have been with a cut off wheel. My ? is will the slower speed 39 vrs 90 help out with the harder steels or is the 90 fpm slow enough to cut any type or close to any type of steel. Thanks for all input.Hypertherm Powermax45Miller auto 140 migMiller Econotig Watercooledwith wp24w TorchLincoln Power255XTNew(Lincoln V205 ac/dc)Miller Elite Helmet
Reply:Blade speed charts are readily available.  This one should tell you what you need to know.  http://www.worldwidesaw.com/catalog/SPEED_CHART.pdfBlade speed is dependent on several factors besides material alloy.  Alloy, thickness, coolant, and feed rates.A decent tutorial on band saw blades and the proper selection for cutting a given material.http://www.worldwidesaw.com/faq/RogerOld, Tired, and GRUMPYSalesman will call, Batteries not included, Assembly is required, and FREE ADVICE IS WORTH EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR IT!Dial Arc 250HFThunderbolt 225 AC/DCAssorted A/O torches
